"In this in-depth and detailed history, Timothy J. Williams reveals that antebellum
southern higher education did more than train future secessionists and proslavery
ideologues. It also fostered a growing world of intellectualism flexible enough to
marry the era's middle-class value system to the honor-bound worldview of the southern
gentry. By focusing on the students' perspective and drawing from a rich trove of
their letters, diaries, essays, speeches, and memoirs, Williams narrates the underexamined
story of education and manhood at the University of North Carolina, the nation's first
public university" -- Page 4 of cover
